Thanks to cable news and the wall-to-wall coverage of national conventions, most Americans have at least a basic sense of what Democrats and Republicans claim to represent. Yes, there’s still plenty of confusion in our political discourse — but generally speaking, Democrats push for more government intervention to solve real or perceived problems, while Republicans emphasize free markets, limited government, and individual liberty.
But how many Americans understand the goals of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)?… Continue Reading

The Democrats’ “free stuff army” has stopped growing, just in time. Maybe.
At some point, if tax eaters outnumber taxpayers, the whole thing will come crashing down.
That is the actual Cloward-Piven Strategy concocted by Marxist academics Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven back in 1966. Their hope was that a socialist government would pick up the pieces and destroy capitalism.
Anyway, the border is now secure under President Donald Trump after four years of President Joe Biden’s policies allowing an estimated 6 million to 10 million migrants to enter the United States illegally and get on the dole.… Continue Reading

Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities were not the only things going up in smoke last week, courtesy of American bombers sent by President Trump.
The Democratic Party’s recent attempts to appear worthy of national leadership also were blown to smithereens. Many prominent party figures have foolishly assailed the successful raid.
U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually tried to launch an impeachment inquiry after Mr. Trump did the world a favor and declawed one of the world’s most dangerous regimes.… Continue Reading

If you still doubt whether elections have consequences, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a Tennessee statute last week should clarify things.
In a 6-3 ruling, the high court upheld a state law protecting minors from transgender experimentation that includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and, in some cases, surgical removal of healthy body parts. In other words, permanent child abuse.
All six of the Republican-appointed justices voted in United States v. Skrmetti to protect children and reject radical transgender ideology.… Continue Reading

On Monday, Jan. 6, Congress will convene to certify the 2024 reelection of former President Donald Trump. Jan. 6, 2025, marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot that Democrats and their media still falsely portray as an “insurrection.”
Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Mr. Trump spoke to a crowd. Among other things, he said:
“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that’s what this is all about.… Continue Reading

As he is wont to do, president-elect Donald J. Trump has re-branded the Green New Deal, labeling it the “Green New Scam.”
The Green New Deal was first introduced in 2019 by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA), both members of the left-wing Congressional Progressive Caucus. This big-government plan proposes a 10-year mobilization to tackle a so-called “climate crisis” by mandating a transition away from fossil fuels to supposedly “renewable” energy sources – many of which rely on government subsidies – with the goal of achieving “net-zero” emissions.… Continue Reading

Written by Dr. Everett Piper
It’s hurricane season, and as predictable as the sunrise, the Gaia worshippers on the political left prove that they just can’t help themselves. They are brainwashed and incapable of rational thought.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her lemmings in the mainstream media are running around like Chicken Little, screaming: “Climate change! Climate change! We only have 10 years to save the planet!”
Is any of this hysteria justified? Well, let’s follow the advice of those who fancy themselves our intellectual superiors — those who call the good people of heartland America mindless rubes and a basket of deplorables — and move beyond the emotions and the politics and “trust the science.”… Continue Reading

In recent years, we have detected that Democrats and Republicans are increasingly finding themselves further apart politically, socially, and spiritually. I don’t find Republicans have taken any major steps away from what they always believed in, God, family, and country.
Democrats, on the other hand, are unrecognizable as to what they were 50 or 60 years ago. Like Republicans, Democrats believed in equality, democracy, a strong military, and were anti-communist.
According to Pew Research, Republicans that are certain or fairly certain that there is a God are at 90%. … Continue Reading

Fox News reported that presidential candidate Kamala Harris affirmed her support of a federal wealth tax.
It’s meant to hit only the “super wealthy”:
“The proposal would impose a minimum tax of 25% on total income, generally inclusive of unrealized capital gains, for all taxpayers with wealth (that is, the difference obtained by subtracting liabilities from assets) greater than $100 million,” the Treasury Department stated in its FY25 revenue proposals. The same proposal was also put forth by the Biden-Harris administration in fiscal year 2024 and in fiscal year 2023, but the minimum taxable amount was 20%.

Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former U.S. House speaker and one of the most prolific gaslighters in history, let out enough gas this week to power the West Coast.
Asked about the Democrats’ choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to run for vice president alongside presidential nominee Kamala Harris, she emitted: “Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as left is so unreal. It’s just not — he’s right down the middle.… Continue Reading
